To @ZZ whom it may concern:

lie it knownthat- I, JAMES KELLY, of Troy,

. in theeounty otflensselaer and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ma! chine for Oiling Wool; and l do hereby declare Vthat the followings,` is a full, clear,and exact dzscripton thereofwhieh'will enable others s cilled in the artto make and ,use thesame, refereneebeing had to the accompanying drawings;

forming part of this specication, in whieh U Figure ll is asectional side elevation ol' this invention. 'Fig'. 2 is a transverse vertical section ot' the same, the line a; fr, Fig'. l,indieat ing the plane, of section.

'lhis invention consists 1n oihng the wool betweenl two rollers, one ot' which runs in acistern containing' the Qihriu'suelh a manner that,

by the act-ion of tlief 't wo rollers, the woolis spread in 'a thin sliver or sheet, and'- the oil taken up ,by the-lower" roller iseonnnunieated uniformi) to al1-the fibers. t

"lhe' eistern ls fed from an airLtight can provided with a discharge-pipe which extends fronrits side elose torthe bottoni, and with an air-tube which extends from its top in sucha ina-nner that when the o il in the estern rises7 to'cl'ose the jmouthsbt' -these tubes no more ojl is discliarg'eihliut as' so'ou as the oilf sinks.

down below tlie niouthot' the air-tube the oil begins to iiow, and therebya uniform leYel is kept up in the cistern.. Y y

A A represent two rollers, which haietheir bearings in standards a, rising; from the ends..

of the cisternl. The lower roller Al runsin the cistern, and'if a quantity ot' oil or'othei" liquid is poured into y.said cistern said roller takes up a portion thereofon every revolu tion. lt' desired, this roller may be vcovered with cloth or other absorbent material, `which facilitates the operation. of taking up the oil, and at the same. tit'ne prevents injury it' some hard substanceshouldbemixed up with the wool to be oil-ed. The tworollers A A run close together, and the`bearings ot' the upper "roller mabv be made' adjustable., so that said Y roller bears down upon the lower roller by its own gravity, or that the two rollers are forred togetherby means of springs or set-screws. The wool to be oiled is carried to the rollers between the rollers it ispressed outin a thin sheet, and the oil taken up bythe lower roll r,

the wool. rlhe cistern Bis suppliedLwth oil `from a tank or can, C, which is'closed air-tight.

its bottoni extends a. pipe, b, down near to the bottom of the cistern, and through this pipo into the eistern to such a depth as may be desired.. This pipeforms the airpipe, and as soon as the `oil inf the cistern rises to such a, height that it closes the moutlrof said airpi'pe the discharge of the oil stops.
